Fear cancels Faith and Promise

Isaiah 41:10 - Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

The Hebrew word used here for 'fear' has to do with human fear and is not the 'fear' that is to do with 'fear of the Lord'. It is this human fear that becomes the cause of us losing faith in God. When we lose faith we lose the means by which we receive our promises. Thus fear becomes a principle cause of us losing our promises. And one of the agents that cause the fear to come is also given here. The Hebrew word used here as 'dismayed' is also translated many times in the Bible as 'look'. So the Lord is telling us 'do not look at what your eyes can see but look in spirit at what I have promised you and I will bring it into existence'.

So what are we going to look at, the things which we can see with our eyes or what we can see by faith? This will decide if we receive our blessings or not.


[ Prayer Starter ]

Father God, You are my God and all things are unto You. Nothing has or will happen without You. With You I have no fear of any thing of the air, on earth or of below the earth. Help me to not lose sight of what You have promised me so that I may not lose your promises. I ask this in Jesus' Name, Amen.

The Word of God was given free to us, therefore we should also share it freely with others. (All rights are with God)
